Fulfilment

Six days since my last post. That's unusual unless I'm on holiday, which I'm not. It's just life - and preparing to go on holiday!

So, Sunday, hm, church. I did a rewrite of psalm 51. Think it was okay. Can't remember the rest. Not a lot I guess. 

Monday, again, can't remember. Tuesday, walked with Daughter and Louie. Then writing group, then Zac's.

Came home from the walk with pockets full of cuttlebones to take to Italy for the budgies.

A good writing session with nine attendees and four apologies. The group has grown and everyone is enthusiastic.

Got a parking ticket.

My own fault. It's difficult parking near Zac's and I'd done a loop of the block and couldn't find anywhere. It was raining so I squeezed on the end, on double yellow lines. "Nobody's going to be coming around on a wet Tuesday evening." They did.

Wednesday, GrandDaughter2 has been studying Welsh culture in school and that morning was an opportunity for parents to go in and see all the work they've done. GrandDaughter2 and her best friend did a Welsh country dance. They're both shy in school so it was very brave of them to volunteer, and they did it beautifully.

Thursday, a meeting first thing i.e. 9.30, with Kim to finalise Saturday evening's church social. Then it was off to Rough Edges to give a helping hand as they've lost their volunteers. A busy day and quite good takings but not sure if it will be enough to keep the shop going. The money it takes is meant to pay for its keep and support the work of Zac's but it's barely breaking even with its keep at the moment.

It's tricky because it's valued in the area and with those who use it regularly. Kathryn, the manager, finds herself comforting and counselling lots of the customers, so it's important not just for financial reasons. That said Zac's is our prime focus and we can't afford to subsidise RE. Also good volunteers, who understand the ethos behind it, are hard to find. We gave it three months to prove itself and that's up soon so it will be decision time. Not looking forward to that.

This lady was snapped up quickly!

Today Josh is coming to replace some of our fencing and I am trying to catch up on blogging and life.

In between I've done another jigsaw (one piece missing.)

And we've been watching season 3 of The Capture. I followed it - mostly - to episode 4. Finished it last night having to ask Husband, "So was he a goodie or baddie?"

And I've continued to pile stuff on the spare bed ready to take to Italy.

Oh yes, and I was very excited to discover an email from The Fulfilment Centre saying my parcel was due to be delivered. Several emails in fact. Having no recollection of ordering anything fulfilling I waited with bated breath. 

It turned out to be very fulfilling!
